When you add a new chapter to your life
you can't just erase the previous ones.
All stories have a beginning, middle and an end progression
marked indelibly in time
on paper
in print
pen
pencil
or paint
Even its ashes
going up in smoke
don't destroy the mental footprints
recorded impressions.
Lost forever in the internet
that film
that email
tracks on your face
a little bag of happiness
is snow white's poisoned apple.
Time travelling
and a predisposition
to a sensitive complex.
